%X Iliac artery aneurysm can be congenital, traumatic or infective. Clinically it presents as a mass in the right iliac fossa which is a pulsatile one. Chondrosarcoma of the ilium is usually a secondarychondrosacroma i.e. there is a malignant transformation of a pre-existing exostosis. Clinically it is a bony hard swelling over the crest of the ilium. In the sex distribution study of 100 cases, 60cases were males and 40 cases were females. Male preponderance is found in appendicular pathology. The appendicular pathology is seen in the younger age group with the maximum in the third decade, while carcinoma in the sixth and seventh decade of life. In ileo caccaltuberculosis maximum affected were in between 21-40 years of age. Hematological investigations shows that in 58 cases of appendicular pathology the total WBC count was increased in 44 cases with increase in polymorpho nuclear cells. In 18 cases of ileocaecal tuberculosis, increases in lymphocytes were seen in 14. In 40 cases of appendicular mass, 10 cases were immediately operated after diagnosis, while other 30 were planned for interval appendicetomy.
